New Year, New Me? Why most change is born from lack & why it collapses

Between Christmas and New Year, many people look back at the past year and what often comes up is disappointment, self-criticism, or the feeling of “I didn’t do enough” or “I’m still not where I want to be.”

From that inner place, we try to create a new version of ourselves.

And that’s exactly why most New Year’s resolutions don’t last.

In this 60-minute live session, we’ll take a grounded and honest look at why change that is born from pressure, lack, or self-rejection almost always collapses and what actually needs to be in place before real, sustainable change becomes possible.

It’s about understanding the inner mechanics behind repeated cycles of new start → effort → burnout → disappointment.
